We have been looking forward to this wedding from the moment Cassie contacted us. I went to elementary school with Cassie and was thrilled to hear she had met such an amazing man. After meeting Michael, it's so very clear how these two are meant to be together. Earlier this Spring, Stephen and I traveled to Atlanta, where these two have been living for the last few years, for their destination engagement session. We had a little taste of how incredible their wedding would be based on the few hours we spent together on that trip.
Read MoreEric&Abby are from the Bay Area and getting married at Trentadue Winery this fall. Their wedding venue is absolutely gorgeous and after spending time with these two, we totally see how it fits them perfectly! Both Eric&Abby are fans of hiking, rock climbing, and enjoying good wine. The venue in near Santa Rosa in the valley but surrounded by beautiful mountains. When scheduling their engagement session, Clearlake was in between Chico and their home in the Bay Area so it was just perfect! The area has many outdoor hiking trails and of course the gorgeous lake that brings many from all over for summer vacationing and outdoor activities.
Read MoreIn the last few weeks, California has graced us with the most beautiful weather. With the holidays behind us, Spring is always a popular time for engagement photos. One of the first things we hear from our brides when they opt to have their makeup professionally done is the hesitation on the amount of makeup that has been applied.
Read MoreBreakfast has become our favorite meal of the day. It all started when we were first married. Three months after our wedding, I jumped in full time with Stephen to join forces. I had just graduated from college and quit my part time job. We had this routine that we would wake up at 6am and go to the gym before starting work. When Wednesday rolled around, we were both exhausted and wanted a day to sleep in past our 5:30am alarm. We quickly dubbed Wednesdays as our “date day” and we would go to a favorite breakfast place in our hometown of Chico or be adventurous and try someplace new. This weekly tradition lasted nearly a year. From then on, breakfast has always been our favorite time of day to go on a date when we get a chance.

Read MoreStephen and I made a promise to each other and our couples after we got married. That promise was that we would get in front of the camera at least once a year and experience what our couples experience when having their pictures taken. We want to always remember each year of marriage. To take a break from the busyness of life and just be together! We always are learning something about ourselves, our own relationship and we always are learning new ways to love our couples as well!
